About Reid

If Dr. Ruth and Jon Stewart had a son, that son would be Reid Mihalko…

Sex and relationship expert Reid Mihalko teaches adults how to create more self-esteem, self-confidence and greater health and satisfaction in and out of the bedroom.

Using humor, insight and solid information, Reid appeals to audiences of all orientations, backgrounds, ages and identities. He’s one of the only male sex and relationship experts touring the country today who can speak pragmatically to nearly all areas of sexual self-expression, intimacy, dating and relating. Reid’s mission is to give men and women new tools to transform their love lives into fulfilling, satisfying, and sustainable expressions of self.

Reid is a sought after speaker who lectures at colleges across the country and has presented and keynoted at dozens of conferences on relationships and sexuality. The workshops he’s designed continue to be taught all over the world and have been attended by over 40,000 people.

Reid has appeared on CBS’ The Doctors, Oprah’s Our America with Lisa Ling on OWN, Bravo’s Miss Advised, the Emmy award-winning talk show Montel, Fox News, VH1, Showtime’s Penn & Teller’s Bulls**t!, on NPR, Sirius’ Maxim Radio and Cosmo Radio, and in Marie Claire, GQ, Details, Seventeen, People, Newsweek, The Washington Post and The National Enquirer, as well as media across the globe in twenty-seven countries and at least fourteen languages.

Reid has also been a writer and producer on a number of films and television projects about sex and relationships, and consults regularly behind the scenes with producers and writers as an expert on subjects ranging from infidelity and sex addiction to dating and marriage, from jealousy and non-monogamy to gender dynamics and sexual tips and tricks.

For Reid, the skills it takes to make relationships healthy and turn mediocre sex into great sex are learnable by everyone. The question is: Do you have the courage to be the change you want to see in the bedroom?

Reid’s work is fresh, bold, ballsy and compassionate. His message is simple and he leads by example: Sex and intimacy don’t have to be scary, and here’s how you can create more self-esteem, self-confidence, health and humor in the bedroom!

The Why…

Reid, one of four boys, grew up in New Hampshire with a mother and father who loved one another tremendously, but who -like many of our parents- lacked the skills to communicate their relationship needs and upsets effectively. Reid witnessed what happens to a marriage (and a family) when such skills are lacking. Passionate about learning how to love like his parents loved, but communicate better, Reid set out to identify and master the intimacy skills his parents lacked. Decades later, Reid is taking his hard-won knowledge and personal experiences and sharing them with the world via his cutting-edge, entertaining and informative events and workshops designed to teach people the communication skills his parents lacked.

Whether it’s a small group of concerned parents, a board room of Hollywood executives, or an auditorium full of cheering students, Reid conveys that sex and intimacy don’t have to be scary. He embodies his message: You can create more self-esteem, self-confidence, health and humor in the bedroom!

The Work…

From his Stand-Up Sex Education shows for college audiences on consent and safer sex, to his rated-PG/PG-13 workshops like Cuddle Party and Speed-Flirting, all the way to his more explicit Show-N-Tell sex education workshops (where adults get to watch, take notes, and ask questions), Reid combines his passion and wisdom with his ability to captivate audiences and make them laugh. Reid’s work is shifting Culture’s stiff (no pun intended) views on sex, intimacy, and relationships to something a tad more healthy and rewarding for all of us.
